Jimmy, Niko, 1st round pick
If KD is being shopped it is because he is telling the Suns get rid of Beal and get somebody else in or move me. At this juncture of his career KD just needs to be a scorer he does not need to be playing 36/37 minutes a night either like he is now. Let him play a nice 30ish a night during the regular season and reduce his defensive responsibilities. Playing the majority of his minutes with Bam/Ware allows him to funnel more and preserve himself for the offensive end. KD even at his age I think could reach career highs in efficiency with SPO. If he has any sway in that front office this is likely the outcome.
If KD is traded its to the highest bidder, and teams will bid for him and a good playoff push.
Unless this is one of those crazy conspiracy theories where now the Suns want to destroy the fan base to move to Las Vegas first
We very well may be the highest bidder. Not going to be easy with the Suns being in the 2nd apron to move KD. I think our trade with the Suns may be the best look they have. The package of players the Thunder would move are garbage, it would require them to add in a TON of draft capital which I am not sure they will do, and it is next to impossible to make this move work with Dallas. Time is ticking they may not have a bunch of time to shop an offer, Pat has likely kept them in a holding pattern for Butler this entire time.
The more I look at Golden State and what they can offer the less it makes sense for them. It would seem to me that PHX wants to win now potentially, but increase their flexibility moving forward. Butler does that for them, also giving them Niko and a 1st are two decent assets to build on.
The best for us would be Houston so we can get our picks back but I think they wanna see what their team does in the playoffs before making a move.
You guys have better stuff for a rebuild in comparison to the Dubs. Not sure who else is involved is a KD chase now.
